GAMEPLAY




BATTLE MECHANICS

Spoiler

I decided to change the battle system for this game. Previously it was used Linear Motion Battle System by Moghunter, now it's using ATB-Sideview Battle System.

BP, AP, and Elemantra Gauge Detail :

BARRIER POINTS
Similar to Hit Points, except you CAN'T restore barrier points by resting
or sleeping. You'll get 10% BP recovery at the beginning of the battle or select
the GUARD command during the fight to restore the BP a character has.

ACTION POINTS
You'll spend AP to do everything in this game. Daily activities like eating,
sleeping, take a bath & studying cost small amount of AP. But heavy work like
monster hunting, mantra casting & doing part time jobs cost great amount of it.
Manage your AP wisely the whole day.

ELEMANTRA GAUGE
Basically it's TP in the default system. It has similar mechanic, Elemantra Gauge
will be filled in the battle. Battle action such as Attacking, defending and casting
specific Mantra will give you more points. You'll spend Elemantra Gauge to cast
Core Mantra and Full Sync Mantra.

STRATEGY

+++

BATTLEBACK

The Battleback's color, effect and picture will vary depend on times of the day,
seasons and situation.

+++

ELEMANTRA SPIRIT
It costs 100% Elemantra Gauge to manifest the maximum power of the Elmsphere into a powerful mythical being called Elemantra Spirit. You can alter their attack and get bonus stats by fusing another sphere into their Modifier slots.

+++

ELMSPHERE LINK

Each Elmsphere is working in conjunction with other equipped Elmsphere. It means, you'll get new mantra if you have 2 Elmspheres equipped in slots that are next to each other. For examples, if you equipped two Wind Elmspheres next to each other, it'll give you a mantra that can be learned from Gale Elmsphere (Wind + Wind = Gale), if you equipped a Fire Elmsphere next to Flare Elmsphere, it'll give you a mantra with Blaze elemental (Flare + Fire = Blaze).

FEATURES

ACTIVE CHARACTER SHIFT

You'll play as three different groups throughout the game, and may switch between the three party leaders when you get a flash message. This feature is optional though, as it gives the player the ability to view other perspectives that are happening at the same time elsewhere in each nation. You'll have a full-risk decision making based on these perspectives.

ELEMANTRA

There are 361 different Elmspheres that can be installed on your Mythbuster device. These spheres will grant its user with various mantras or abilities that can be used in a battle, or reproduce a specific mantra that can only be conjured/used by a character proficient in that type of mantra to interact with objects, or people outside battle.

DEEPER STAT-BUILD

You can build unique stats, such as Leadership, Knowledge, Engineering, etc. You can also do various things to increase these stats. For example, to train your Leadership, you have to make the right decision during a mission. As another example, you will need to either read a VT Cards or find Elmshoglyph in dungeons to increase Knowledge. Your stats are not enhanced through repetitive training, and is only affected by your actions throughout the gameplay.

TIME MANAGEMENT

Sleeping at night will restore your AP, and having three meals a day will keep your AP recharge rate optimal. You'll also find a variety of activities in each city, or Eisenrealm Base. Such activities include monster hunting, mantra training, ranked duels, attending special events, part-time jobs or side-missions. Most activities take time, so, suffice it to say, keep watch on what you're doing, and when!

I'm really liking the art of the game, it's not going to be everyone's cup of tea but it looks pretty detailed and clearly gets across your anime inspiration. The mechanics sound interesting and I like the use of the FF9-style Active Time Event system to expand the story. Unfortunately, the story doesn't grab me at all, it sounds okay but only okay to me. In complete fairness, though, that may be my own personal biases coming into account because the "training academy for magical folk to fight monsters" is one of my least favourite anime tropes, but I could be in the minority there. There are a fair few grammatical mistakes in your post too, which is completely fair enough given English isn't your first language, but I would reach out to some people on the forum for some help with editing, or hire someone to edit the script and make sure the mistakes don't crop up in game. At the end of the day, execution is more important than ideas, and if the story is told well enough then I can overlook my biases. You've got what looks like a mechanically solid, aesthetically pleasing game and I'm interested to see what you do with it!

This looks very cool. I'm surprised this is made in MV!

Hello, thanks for liking it. Yes, I guess everyone will notice I'm trying to pull FF VIII, FF Type Zero, Persona, and several other game/anime titles together into this project. XD About the story, I guess it would be wise if the "magic training academy" is not the major part of the game, right? Then you don't have to worry, I'm fully aware of that but I'm a little bit confuse how to write a good summary without giving
too much spoilers. I'm glad that you're interested in this game project. Please look forward to it, you can roam freely here!

Thank you! I'm sorry, I'm still preparing for the game demo at the moment.
Since it's the demo, I've got a very important mission to put something good there. XD
Also, I'm open to any suggestion, so please don't hesitate to drop more thoughts.

 

[Isabella Ava]

Very awesome!

Hello everyone. I hope you have a great weekend.
This is the first character profile. Name is Lucain. He's one of the three party leaders.

 

[Nagasari]

Nice ui. the armor is weird at some parts imo but the game feature seems promising. I root for this one.

Please look forward to it and do not hesitate to drop more feedback.

Knee and chest. well, that’s just my opinion.

 

[VioletSpark]

Is this the 5th game in a series?

The Elmish Mantras idea sounds pretty neat.

Thank you! Yes, this game is the fifth in the series.
the 2nd and 3rd title are still a demo though.

 

[Starmage]

Wow!! I love the details of the maps and those char sprites! ^_^ Especially the ones in battle!! Great job! I assume you're using a tales-like battle system? I rarely see them getting implemented in RM games, so that's a huge plus! The 3D-esque artworks are superb, btw!

Thanks for liking it! Yes, I'm using LMBS (Linear Motion Battle System) by Moghunter, a battle system that is distinctive to the Tales series, it's easy to use.

 

[Starmage]

Awesome!! I can't wait to try a demo once you have one out!! ^_^

 

[OneManIndie]

Gotta admit this looks pretty swanky. I like thearly 3D visuals of this. Reminds me of the old PS-era rpg games.

Thanks for your kind words.
as of now I'm doing my best to write a good story for the demo,
so the game is not just about graphical teaser.
Please look forward into it.

Character updates~ ^^

Here is the second/alternative protagonist, Maegarf Thal.
He's a character that has appeared, or been mentioned, in almost all Avelions series & spinoffs.

 

[Dinamic Creates]

This looks so promising, I hope you get to sell it on Steam and such.

 

[cradth]

This looks so promising, I hope you get to sell it on Steam and such.

Thank you! ^^ currently, I'm focusing on how to make a good demo,
Of course, it would be nice if I can put it on steam or such.
I'll decide that later after see some responses from players.
